A study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of foliar spray of nutrients on growth of different tree species in nursery with the objective to get good quality planting stock for the plantation in field. Pooled results of two years indicate that foliar application of phosphoric acid @ 0.1 per cent at 45 and 90 days after sowing (DAS) of seeds in polybags recorded maximum growth (height and collar diameter) of all tree species viz Acacia leucophloea, A holosericea, A Senegal, Albizzia lebbeck, Leucaena leucocephala and Prosopis cineraria which was significantly higher over water spray and ammonium molybdate @ 0.01 per cent followed by DAP (1.0%), thiourea (550 ppm) and urea (3.0%).
